If the Underwriter’s Option is exercised in full, the aggregate gross proceeds raised will be approximately $3,622,500.

The net proceeds from the issuance of Common Shares under the Offering will be used by Palliser to fund the development and acquisition programs of the Company and for general corporate purposes.

The Offering is scheduled to close on or about January 31, 2013 and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, and other applicable securities regulatory authorities.
